En Brasil, una pequeña oligarquía todavía posee la mayor parte de la tierra. El Movimiento de los Sin Tierra, MST ocupó una finca abandonada y la convirtió en un paraíso comunal durante 20 años, con 450 familias. Pero ahora el MST está bajo un ataque total de la derecha neofascista de Bolsonaro y una parte ha sido aplastada y quemada. La ocupación continúa y el MST se compromete a reconstruir y triunfar.

Recientemente el régimen brasileño, a través del accionar de sus fuerzas represivas, invadió y destruyó una parte del campamento que el Movimiento de los y las Sin Tierra de Brasil, viene manteniendo desde hace 20 años en Quilombo Grande do Campo, en Mina Gerais.

No es extraño que esto ocurra ya que el MST está en la mira de la burguesía, los terratenientes y por supuesto del genocida gobierno de Jair Bolsonaro, son un ejemplo de otro mundo diferente y con su resistencia iluminan a muchos y muchas en el continente y el mundo. .

Para hablar de lo allí ocurrido, nos comunicamos con Daniel Pereira, dirigente en el área de producción del Movimiento, y uno de los integrantes del campamento atacado.

• –Cuéntanos cómo ocurrieron los hechos del campamento Quilombo Campo Grande. Cómo se dio el ataque policíal y qué representaba ese campamento que durante tantos años ha construido el Movimiento Sin Tierra de Brasil

-Quilombo Campo Grande es un campamento popular, localizado en Campo do Meio y que posee 450 familias. Es un campamento que resiste hace más de 20 años, en un área que era dedicada a la plantación de caña de azúcar para la producción de alcohol. En este proceso de lucha existen dos procesos jurídicos de desapropiación de la tierra. Uno de ellos, es el que hace a las sedes de la antigua hacienda. Y el restante, es de las 3900 hectáreas.

And last week California ruined the hopes of families who believed their state might become the first to upend the status quo.

In 2009, shortly after police officers shot and killed her 16-year-old brother in San Pablo, California, Geoffrea Morris drove to a cemetery to look for a plot of land. On top of everything else, she was stressed about money: Burial and funeral expenses would cost tens of thousands of dollars, and she was strapped for cash after graduating from social work school. A man who worked at the cemetery asked whether her brother had been the victim of a violent crime—a designation that would allow him to give her a discount. She started to cry.

“They’re not seeing him as a victim,” she recalls telling him. A man who worked at the cemetery asked whether her brother had been the victim of a violent crime. She started to cry. “They’re not seeing him as a victim.”

In California and many other states, crime victims and their family members can apply to the government to help pay for funeral costs, counseling, medical fees, or other crime-related expenses. But there’s a significant catch: Across the country, victims of police violence don’t qualify.

Police departments won’t issue them reports certifying their victimhood, documentation that’s required by most states’ victim compensation boards. Plus, no state’s board will provide compensation to anyone whom officers suspected of being involved in a crime when they were injured or killed, which is often the case for people harmed by police.

Turkish President Erdogan has sought to create an image for himself as the champion of religion. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) also tried to claim they were following a religion, yet both used water as a weapon of war.

Water in Islam

Turkey is almost 100% Muslim and has made world headlines converting Christian cathedrals into Mosques. Turkish President Erdogan has been converting a secular democracy in Turkey, founded by Ataturk, into a Muslim Brotherhood haven, which follows Radical Islam as a political ideology, which is the same ideology as ISIS.

Water in Islam is considered as a gift from God, belonging to all equally, which has to be distributed equally among all living beings, humans, animals, and plant life, according to Cherif Abderrahman Jah, an Islamic academic and humanist.

The ISIS terrorists have often used water as a weapon of war in Iraq and Syria by cutting off supplies to villages that resisted their rule and as a tool to expand their control over the region’s water infrastructure.

They wanted to seize the water to prove they were building an actual state. In 2014 ISIS besieged the Syrian town of Kobane to secure a piece of the border with Turkey.

6 years later, 2020, the same scenario plays out, and in the same area, but ISIS has been defeated, and the Erdogan regime in Turkey has taken their place. Many experts feel ISIS and Turkey have been connected in their use of Radical Islam as a political tool, devoid of any connection to Islam, which is a religion.

In Brazil a tiny oligarchy still owns most of the land. The Landless Movement , MST occupied an abandoned estate and made it into a communal paradise for 20 years, with 450 families. But now the MST is under total attack from the neo fascist right under Bolsonaro and a part has been flattened and burned. The occupation continues and the MST vow to rebuild and fight on

Recently the Brazilian regime, through the actions of its repressive forces, invaded and destroyed a part of the camp that the Movement of the Landless of Brazil has been maintaining for 20 years in Quilombo Grande do Campo, in Mina Gerais.

It is not strange that this happens since the MST is in the sights of the bourgeoisie, the landowners and of course the genocidal government of Jair Bolsonaro, are an example of another different world and with their resistance they illuminate many and many in the continent and the world. To talk about what happened there, we contacted Daniel Pereira, a leader in the Movement’s production area, and one of the members of the attacked camp.

• –Tell us how the events of the Quilombo Campo Grande camp occurred. How the police attack took place and what did the camp that Brazil’s Landless Movement has built for so many years represent

-Quilombo Campo Grande is a popular camp, located in Campo do Meio and has 450 families. It is a camp that has resisted for more than 20 years, in an area that was dedicated to the plantation of sugar cane for the production of alcohol. In this process of struggle there are two legal processes of land expropriation. One of them is the one that makes the headquarters of the old hacienda. And the rest is 3900 hectares.

Es normal que el asunto colegio les haya pillado en bragas a nuestras autoridades. No se podía saber que iba a empezar en septiembre. Estamos a 20 de agosto de una pandemia que no da tregua.

En teoría, en apenas tres semanas comienza el colegio. Pasaremos de una fase 2 en la que no te puedes juntar con más de diez personas -y la recomendación de que sean siempre las mismas- a que nuestras criaturas compartan aula con otras 25.

No sabemos de la aplicación de los protocolos en los distintos centros. No sabemos cómo abrirán los colegios o si llegarán a abrir. Es casi seguro que no habrá madrugadores ni extraescolares.

Algunos centros cambiarán su jornada partida a una continua. Desconocemos cómo será el tiempo escolar, lo que hace muy complicado planificar cómo compaginarlo con nuestros horarios laborales. Se habla de no compartir materiales. Quien lo dice desconoce cómo es el ciclo de infantil de un colegio público.

Habrá que utilizar espacios al aire libre, dicen las autoridades, que dejaron de ver colegios cuando todo el monte sería orégano. No sé qué patios se imaginan que tienen los centros públicos saturados con 4 y 6 vías y una biblioteca en un hueco del pasillo.

El principal protocolo de actuación de la administración era iniciar este curso con normalidad presencial. Ahora, a 20 de agosto, los responsables políticos ya empiezan a decir que esto no será del todo posible.

Lo peor es que se sabe desde marzo, y de entonces hasta ahora se ha dejado correr. Con la ingenuidad de creer que llegaríamos a septiembre con la pandemia bajo control y para qué íbamos a trabajar en balde en pensar modos seguros de abrir colegios.

Y aquí estamos, sin los recursos adecuados para que la normalidad rara sea estable durante el curso. Con el cuerpo escocido, sabiendo del potencial riesgo de ir al cole, contagiarnos y contagiar a nuestros familiares más vulnerables; pero pensando qué tipo de efecto puede tener en las criaturas no llevarlos – ¿Me multarán? ¿Me quitarán la plaza? ¿Les estaré convirtiendo en sociópatas al no relacionarse con otros niños desde marzo? –
